Asking Permission

[T.C.]

My wife of almost 46 years loves to hunt for those "pointy obsidian rocks". I have to drag her back to the truck at the end of the day!! She just doesn't want to quit.

I bought her a White's for her birthday one year and almost wore it wrapped around my neck!! She does like to detect the Oregon Trail over in Nevada though.....I guess I'll keep 'er!!

Let's just say my wife lets me get away with murder. And yes I do take advantage sometimes. If the the table where turned I wouldn't be able to let me get away with it. Just being honest, Mike

My gf works a lot.
I'm retired. I try to let her know, overnight/ out of town trips- a week or more.
Locally- 1 to 3 days is her notice. To date she is 89.6 percent good with it.
Recently acquired a Fisher F2= We hunt together soon.
Sort of excited! Almost.

WOW, I envy some of u guys.

Last Christmas I bought the gal I had been dating for awhile an Ace 250, well she still has it, after I left her.

I don't ask for permission... I ask my wife if there is anything going on as far as plans for a weekend morning, or a honey-do list, or whatever. If she/we don't have plans, then its generally implied that I want to go beep. Sometimes I hunt after work before I get home, she is ok with that, as long as I am home for dinner, generally 6pm

My gf always asks why I am home and not out detecting. Never once has she complained about me spending too much time doing what I love. She was a single parent just like I was and figures all the sacrifices we made for our children should entitle us both to spend our " empty nest " time as we want.
